If Gold Rust....

[roamer]

“. . . if gold rust, what then will iron do? For if a priest be foul in whom we trust. No wonder that a common man should rust. . . .”

Who used to work in the circus.

I used to work in a circus one summer while I was going to university. It was an "interesting" experience to say the least. I was the phototographer, but helped out in other aspects. Some of the things that were shown would not be politically correct by today's standards and would be illegal.
